She has got to be one of the best teachers I've had! She knows her stuff!

Theres a reason she won best prof!

The best prof I have had. Too bad there aren't more profs like her at this uni!

Wonderful woman. She is clear, inspiring, and many of her stories are touching.

The most caring and inspiring teacher I've ever had.

Approachable, thought provoking, enjoyable, great class.

very engaging prof, amazingly smart, she's my hero!

Still the most quality class of my entire university education. I don't use my degree in psych 6 years later, but I use her stats on beastiality! What an excellent prof!

Excellent course and FABULOUS PROF! This s/be a mandatory Psych course for all Univ students! She truly cares about her students and their lives outside of school! Ask her to scoop you on Freud - wicked! Thank you!! LOVED the class!!

Excellent teacher!

Brought to light many issues I would not have considered. A must-take course with an excellent prof. No other prof is as readily available to speak to as she is. She has great exams and the term paper is optional. If I had the chance I would take another course with her as prof.

Definetly a great class, the marking was more difficult then expected. For those thinking about taking the class, I would highly recommend doing the optional essay. She certainly cares about her students! Very interesting course!

Most helpful,caring prof ever! Very interactive class and you learn interesting facts. Just listen to the major discusions in class and match those with the book, and you will know whats on the exam.

really great professor, super helpful - but there is no organization to this class, so expect to be surprised on the tests - do well on test 1 and u are set.

This class is awesome because she is so open to speaking and letting others speak. She makes this class so you can do well too. Great prof.

The Best Class I Have Ever Taken in University. The Prof is What Makes the Course so Incredible!!!

This class was amazing! She hooks her students from the first lecture! I am a phys ed teacher and every year during Sex Ed. I used information she passed on!!! This was for sure one of the most worth while courses I ever took in University! Great guest speakers too!!!

Yeh....you sooooo need to take this class. And Prof. Kleinplatz, if ur reading this, you ROCK!!!!!!!!

This prof rocks! She knows her stuff and knows how to communicated it well!

OMFG she is by far the best possible prof for this subject matter.

OMG need to take this class with Peggy. She keeps you hooked right from the beginning and you have an optional paper/critique. Exams are fair, but you need to study the fine details to get through the 1st midterm. I definetely reccomend this class, you will have a blast.

Great prof! Material covered is really interesting and she teaches it in a very effective manner. The multiple choice on the midterm was a challenge, but other than that, no complaints. You will love this class!

Overrated, she's good, but nothing special. Her midterm is insanely detailed. Interesting class though

Prof. Kleinplatz's approach to the subject is the perfect balance of humor and seriousness. I enjoyed every minute of every class. I found her to be so inspirational. Her exams were slightly difficult, so pay attention to detail!

Favourite class I've taken in uni. so far. She is witty and intelligent. Her exams are a cinch - attend all the lectures, and you should know the essay topics. Read all the chapters, and the multiple choice is easy. Only flaw I saw: sometimes the class discussions get out of hand and off-topic. If you take this class, take it with Kleinplatz!

Sexual behaviour is an interesting course. her exams can be tricky though.

She's a great prof! lets people call her anytime to ask questions or talk about stuff. she's really open to talk about anything with her students. definitely does get off topic sometimes during class. ask her to talk about hot sex, she could go on about it for hours!

YOU ROCK!

Great sense of humour. Very intelligent. Exams are slightly difficuly. Make sure you attend all classes.

Great. Precise. Open to discussion. Genuinely interested in our thoughts, ideas and opinions regarding sexuality. Lectures are thoroughly reflected on exams/final. Attendance is mandatory to do well, and isn't painful! Understanding of spec needs for paper deadlines. Great course, great prof.

I took this class more than 10 years ago and it was by far one of the best classes I took at University and it appears from all the more recent positive posts that she hasn't changed. I highly recommend this course to everyone!

It's a good class but her exams are tricky. She wants like detailed explanations for everything, even when you think you've explained, do yourself a favour and explain more. The class is super interesting and informative and she is open to ANY topic of discussion.

This is a great class; learned a lot and attended every single one without having to push myself. The prof is clear and extremely approachable.

Best prof ever and I have had a lot. She is clear, and she cares. She makes you think not just accept. Her class was the last 3 hours of 4 1/2 hours in the same lecture hall and I never cared.

Great Class, she knows things ;)

So much fun! Loved her class, sat in the front row this summer and learned so much! If you actually pay attention and UNDERSTAND what is being discussed.. you will do awesome. Loved her!

SUCH an INSPIRATION. Amazing woman, wonderful professor. She inspired me to go into research in psychology. I took this course more than 3 years ago and I still remember it well. One of the best courses in my uni career, incl. from my graduate courses! Study well, you can easily get an A+ if you enjoy what you're learning. :) LOVE YA PEGGY!!!

AWESOME PROF. She will teach you things you did not expect to learn, and she will treat you like an intelligent human.

Human Sexual Behaviour with Peggy. Best class I have ever taken in my entire life. She made this class the best experience of my university years. You are stupid not to go to class. 1. She is amazing. 2. Topics are amazing 3.She will ask you questions on the exam about what is taught in class + the text book. Slackers shouldn't take this class.

If you take this class, take it ONLY with this prof. She is really an amazing person, always available to talk, genuinely respectful of and interested in students. She encourages critical thought and engaging discussions, not just regurgitating material. An inspiration!!

Human Sexual Behaviour. Wonderful class, amazing professor. She's fair and kind and always very available to her students. Do not however expect this class to be a bird course. You must attend and pay attention to do well.

I wish Peggy taught every class at Ottawa you. She is extremely intelligent, and treats her students as intelligent individuals as well. Her lectures are interesting and she has the perfect balance between seriousness and humour. Best class I have EVER taken in my 3 years at uottawa.

PSY3122. Peggy is a very charismatic prof. If you miss even one class you'll kick yourself for missing out on some great stuff. However, her accuracy is often suspect in favor of her bullish adherence to political correctness. If you want the truth you'll have to read in between the lines. Class is also heavily skewed towards female audience.

She was very engaging, humourous, knowledgeable and spontaneous. Never a dull moment and a highly academic course. I learned alot in this course. She is also very passionate so it is always a pleasure to attend lectures.

Absolutely amazing! She's very smart and gives many many good tips in class. I've learned a lot to apply to my overall life rather than just school smarts! EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMENDED

One of the best professors I have ever had. Class was 7-10 Monday nights, but skipping a class will never cross your mind. Peggy's teaching style is different than most profs, she gets discussion going and teaches purely from lecture and is riveting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take her class.

Very knowledgable. I could listen to her talk all day and retain every last word. Some criticisms: Let's the class ramble on about personal stories too long, which detracts the class from her, which is a shame. Her marking of short answer questions on exams is unpredictable, so be cautious with that.

I love Peggy but was extremely disappointed with 4122. I loved taking 3122 with her but I do not recommend taking 4122.

One of the best profs I have met so far. She really knows her stuff, and goes beyond the call of duty by not only teaching the material, but offering the class very helpful tips and advice for everyday practical situations. She has an amazing sense of humor as well.

Probably the BEST professor I've had! Amazingly intelligent! Has a wonderful sense of humor, and cares about her students VERY much (lets students call her anytime if they are in a crisis and need to talk to someone, and also answers students' personal anonymous questions at the end of classes). Really, she goes above and beyond the call of duty!

Very nice, extremely knowledgeable in the subject. Can and will answer any questions you have. not exactly a bird course per se, but definitely a great elective. I Recommend!

Always available for extra help. Very interactive classroom setting.

Excellent Prof! The best I've had at Ottawa U. Thought provoking, useful and interesting lectures. Open minded prof and is always willing to help her students.

Excellent professor. She is so caring and passionate about what she teaches, and easy to contact if you ever need help or have any questions. She knows her material very well, and you leave her class with useful information that you will use and apply in your life. Really wants you to take something out of her class :)

Great Prof! Loved all the classes, took a lot away from them. Try and get into her Advanced Human Sexual Behaviour class, very interesting.

Fabulous prof!! Take one of her classes at some point. It is worth it. You learn so much and class is interesting and fun. Tests are challenging but fair.

Best prof I've ever had in my life.

She really is an incredible lecturer. Very intelligent and caring towards the students. A very friendly and open environment for such a taboo subject. Course is 1 midterm and a noncumulitive final exam. Material is both from lecture and textbook. Interesting material. Great class.

Super interesting but she expects ALOT from her students...

Absolutely amazing prof and class! I would recommend this class to everyone - probably the best I've had and you get so much out of it. You have to attend class and be sure to do readings. Overall, super fun class to take and it is easy as long as you take note of discussions and focus on given exam questions!

REALLY interesting course. I definitely learned a lot. Only one midterm and an exam (and an optional paper). The exams were very short, and mostly based on essay questions (which were created by the class, so no surprises). Only a couple multiple choice questions on the exams were from the textbook (but they were super obscure questions).

She is very informative and helpful, though you can't contact her by email, only by phone call. Always available in class to answer your questions. The class itself is really interesting. Be prepared to get bell curved hard on the final exam as she is one of those profs. Your final mark will definitely be lower than it actually should be.

Very interesting professor and clearly explains anything you want to know about sex. The MC is a bit "piddly" and she does bell curve b/c of faculty rules. However, this is a great class to go to and the readings were interesting, definitely engaging! It's not a bird course though.

cutest and best prof out there. she is down to earth and wants you to succeed. go in with an open mind because she will shock you. i love her and wish to take another class with her. you'll learn so much

Teaches through a more narrative form of lecture, and it is captivating. She really knows the material, and can make it relatable to everyone. Has studied with the famous Master and Johnson. This course fills up super fast, and is nearly impossible to get into with her.

She doesn't use blackboard or any slides; she literally just lectures the entire class. Participation is important, but not graded. She keeps things very interesting; easily one of my favourite uOttawa profs

Hands down, best prof at uottawa.

Hands down one of the best professors at uOttawa.

Peggy is such a kind professor and an even more generous human, her classes are SO interesting that you actually look forward to going to the classes. Definitely the best qualified person to be teaching the class. Exams are super easy and straight forward as long as you attend class. Loved the class and definitely taking her classes again :)

AMAZING prof, make sure to do the readings though, and study the readings well because there will be MC q's on them on the midterm and exam. Attend all the lectures, she's fantastic.

best prof at u of O. she's caring, knowledgeable and teaches things that actually matter.

Best prof I've taken. Super interesting readings (from a course pack). Midterm and final are a combination of M/C and long answer, make sure you do the readings for the M/C and combine info from the lectures and the book for long answers (she gives them to you in advance). 3 hour lectures go by in a flash. Extremely caring prof.

Very interesting course material. Prof is clear with what she expects from students, and is always willing to help. Must do readings in order to do well. Does not let students use any technology for this course which makes it easier to actually learn without distraction. 100% would recommend this class.

An inspirational, kind, funny, and knowledgeable professor, Dr. Kleinplatz will capture you from the first lecture to the last. The content of the course was extremely interesting and relevant. Tests and papers are not graded easily, but it is completely worth it, as this woman will change your life.

My favorite class so far -- Peggy will change your life! Super knowledgeable, although she is very specific on tests. She clearly wants to help students (gives exact midterm/exam questions beforehand), and always conveys the subject matter in an interesting way. You will learn a lot from this woman.

An amazing teacher, available for her students regardless if it's related to the class or advice. She is funny, compassionate and inspiring! I would take a class with her anytime.

She is by far the best professor I've ever had. She is funny, understanding, knowledgeable, and interested in what you've got to offer. 10/10.

Peggy is an amazing prof who cares a lot about her students. The material itself is interesting and Peggy's lecturing and personality make it that much more enjoyable. Students basically make up the exam questions - no surprises. I did most of the readings but material is covered thoroughly in class. You have to work for your A. Best class and prof

INCREDIBLE prof. Truly a gem. She gave my class her personal phone number in case we needed help on understanding concepts. So passionate about her work and very involved with the students. There's something about her that differentiates her from all other profs at University of Ottawa, I can't quite explain it. Just incredible.

Peggy was AMAZING. I'm in 4th year and this is by far my favourite professor to date, and I've had many. You won't do well if you don't show up to class or do the readings. I had her in a 7-10 block, I almost wished her classes were longer. She is so knowledgeable and makes it fun. Write down every word she says, study it, and you'll do well.

She is AMAZING. Hands down my favourite professor at UOttawa. She is so knowledgeable and is willing to answer your questions all day every day. I actually looked forward to her class every week. She conveys material that is actually useful in real life and does't sugar coat anything. It's great. Also, she is hilarious. Very approachable.

The best class I've ever taken. NO COMPUTERS though at all allowed in class. She also gives you a general idea of what are going to be on exams as questions. Midterm 40% + final 60% (option to do a research paper to divy up the grading a bit). Learned so much about my health and changed me for the better. Do the readings for mc part of exams (15pts

The most relevant psychology class I have taken so far. I learned so much! No laptops, no slides in her class so get prepared to take notes (doable for me as a non native speaker). Prepares you very well for the exams. Encourages class discussion. Very approachable even outside class hours. Take this class if you get the chance!!!

Peggy is a truly remarkable teacher. She stands out amongst the many lacklustre professors out there. She cares about her students, and clearly loves what she is doing. I luckily got to take two classes with her, both Human Sexuality classes, and they were some of the best courses I have taken in University. Should be mandatory for everyone!

She is the best prof I have ever had. I missed her as soon as the last class of the semester was over. Every student would be lucky to be taught by such a caring, respected and extraordinary teacher like Peggy. I will never forget her and the way she changed my life during this class. She truly is an inspiration and I'm so lucky to know her.

Doctor Peggy is the best prof I've ever had in psych so far and I've been here at U ottawa for five years. She's really kind. I was sick for some weeks and I went to talk to her about it with my doctor's note. And she was so understanding and genuinely caring. Her lectures are also very fun, made 3 hr lecture a breeze. If you can, take her course!

Amazing prof, the best I've had at uO. There are no electronics/posted notes so be prepared to take your own, and she expects class participation. Really interesting lecturer and tells you information you actually care about. Midterms aren't hard at all if you do the readings. Easily accessible after class and cares about her students. 10/10.

Peggy is genuinely one of the best people I've ever met. She doesn't e-mail or use slides but she has a disability that makes it very hard for her to type so please don't think it's because she's being mean. She's the epitome of career goals- anyone who thinks her views aren't backed up by research is crazy. She's INCREDIBLY knowledgeable!

She is the best professor I had. Her lectures are so interesting, not only for grades but also for real life. You learn things that will help you become a better human being. Showing up wasn't even a burden. She is so passionate about what she teaches, she is actually the one who triggered my desire to pursue my studies in human sexuality.
